Extra Liability to Malar,al Iufsct,or

Persons whose blood Is thin, digestion
weak and liver sluggish. are extra liable
to the attacks OF mslarial disease. The
most trifling exposure may, under such
conditions, infect system which, if
healthy, would resist the miasmatic faint.
The only way 10 secure immunity from
malaria in localities where it is prevalent,
is to tone and regulate the system by
improving weakened digestion. enriching
the blood, and giving a wholesome i'm
petGs to hillary secretion. These results
are accomplished by nothing so effect>
lively as Hostetier's Stomach Bitters,
which long experience has proved to be
the most reliable safeguard against fever
and ague and kindred disorders, as we'll
rs the best remedy for them. The bitters
are, moreover, an excellent invigorani
of the organs of urination. and an active
depurent, eliminating from the blood
those acrid impurities which originate
rheumatic ailments.
